§6.2 A
SSEMBLY
Assemble the control box (fig. 1) in the tractor cabin with the enclosed assembly material (fig. 2).
Ensure that a position favourable for operation in the driver's field of vision is selected.
The control wire for the spraying system and the hydraulic functions is inserted in the socket (2) on
the reverse of the control box (fig. 1).
The control box is switched on via the switches (3) on the reverse (fig. 1).
I = On
0 = Off
§6.3 S
UPPLY OF ENERGY
In newer types of tractor which are equipped with an energy supply socket to DIN 9680, the energy
supply wire of the Electrical Control EC, which leads to the distribution box on the sprayer, can be
inserted directly on the DIN socket of the tractor.
In older tractors not equipped with a DIN socket, the battery wire (5) (fig. 3) is necessary and must
be connected directly to the battery. The battery wire is not standard and must be ordered
separately.
Use of the battery wire, which is fused with a 30 A fuse, ensures that the Electrical Control EC is
always sufficiently supplied with energy.
When connecting to the battery, pay attention to correct poling!
The brown core with the integrated 30 A fuse must be connected to the + pole, the blue core to the
- pole. Please ensure clean contacts!
By no means can the supply of energy be produced via the so-called cigarette
lighter, as it cannot provide the current required!
The other side of the wire is equipped with a standard socket, which must be attached in a dry,
protected area in the rear of the tractor or the tractor cabin. The energy supply wire of the Electrical
Control, which leads to the distribution box on the sprayer, is inserted in this socket.
Before connecting the Electrical Control EC to the 12 Volt electrics, the following checks must be
made:
-
Check electric components and wires for possible damage. Damaged wires are no longer
waterproof and can cause short circuits.
-
Check the wire length; it must also be sufficient for taking bends.
-
Check correct connection of the plug to the control box.
-
Naturally, the 12 Volt battery must also be sufficiently charged (9 Volts at least)
Note: Please ensure that the two wires (energy supply and control wire) are laid carefully
between the tractor and the sprayer in work so that nobody can trip up and the wire does
not get caught anywhere. However, the wire must not be tied up too tightly, because
otherwise it can tear in bends or in lifting or lowering. Further, please ensure that the
wires cannot come into contact with moving or hot parts of the tractor.
Danger: If live parts or wires are damaged, short circuits can result. Therefore, the energy
supply wire must always be equipped with a 30 A fuse. Without properly fusing, a
fire can be caused by a short-circuit!
